  • Abstract
    In this paper we try to determine the properties of different galactic components (2 < r < 12kpc) using radial pulsating stars (RPS stars) as tracers. For RPS stars in Galaxy we use a quasi-seismological inversion method (Post Theoretical Mass Method, PTM) which allows us to determine the mass M and the abundance Z for each star. Based on PTM method and using RPS stars as tracers we could determine the chemical structure and evolution of the Galaxy: abundance gradients and segregation between different evolutionary populations. This method is planned to be extended further using the RPS star observed by the KEPLER space mission.
